NESST is the Network for Emergent Socio-Scientific Thinking. Housed at Smithsonian Science Education Center, it is a global network comprised of youth, educational innovators, business leaders, STEM professionals, organizations, and communities interested in transforming STEM education for sustainable development. Committed to thinking differently through the lens of emergence and complexity, NESST reimagines education for life on a sustainable planet. NESST seeks to engage a collaborative, enthusiastic group of educators to join the Teacher Ambassador Program.
This multi-year virtual program is designed for K-12 classroom teachers. It is ideal for middle and high school teachers of any subject that want to bring complex socio-scientific issues to their classroom, are excited to work with a network of similarly passionate educators, and are compelled by the idea of co-creating something new.
